The Edmonton Eskimos have released Canadian Receiver Kamau Peterson as well as Quarterback Jared Zabransky.
Peterson won the Most Outstanding Canadian Award in the CFL in 2008, but was plagued by an Achilles injury last season, when he only played 4 games.
Esks Head Coach Kavis Reed said “The decision to part ways with a ten-year veteran is never easy. Kamau has given a lot to this org...

It has been another year of ups and downs for every team in the CFL this year with teams being considered dead early in the season and charging back to a playoff spot to teams that were consensus Grey Cup picks that hung on for dear life. In other words, just another year in the CFL!
Looking ahead to the first round we have a couple of really interesting matchups and in both games either team c...

The Edmonton Eskimos are one game away from the playoffs. Yep its true go see it for yourself. With the clusterf*#k that has been the Edmonton Eskimos this season, there is still a team one game from being as terrible. The B.C. Lions. But thats somebody else's story.
I seem to be putting a negative spin on this but i'm a little exited considering where they were a few weeks ago. Right n...

The Calgary Stampeders just keep on rolling. Calgary moved to 9-1 on the season after beating the Edmonton Eskimos 36-20 at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, and the score board showed a game much closer than it actually was.
The Stampeders came out of the blocks extremely sluggish and sloppy and the Eskimos managed to take advantage on a couple plays to keep it interesting in the first half. A...

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers wrapped up their first half of the season with their annual Labour Day loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders to sport a record of 2-7. It was a tough first half of the season. The Bombers suffered numerous injuries to starters and numerous brain cramps that have left them on the short end of the scoreboard all too often.
The Bombers have lost 52 man games from the...

I don't know this as fact but I am going to assume this was the biggest victory on Labour Day in the Calgary-Edmonton history of the game. The Stamps walked all over the Eskimos all day in front of a packed house at McMahon Stadium. Handing the Eskimos their worst loss of the season 52-5.
No in depth break down today because there really is no need. However I will highlight a few points.
You kn...

Much to my personal surprise the CFL has chosen not to suspend any players from the melee's between the Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Eskimos where Calgary beat Edmonton 56-15 at McMahon Stadium.
Instead Mike Labinjo, Brandon Browner, and Rombe Bryant of the Stampeders received fines. Tremayne Kirkland and Andre Talbot of the Eskimos also received fines for their actions.
As I had stated in m...

Things have gone from bad to worse for the Esks lately. They have a 6-1 record coming off a 56-15 loss on Sunday to their rivals the Stamps, had had to fire their O-line coach Jeff Bleamer, and has had their hall of fame great, Dan Kepley, resign from being the Linebacker coach. I expect Offensive Coordinator Kevin Strasser to be next on the chopping block.
But though the darkness one player h...

The Calgary Stampeders hosted the Edmonton Eskimos Sunday night at McMahon Stadium in Calgary and in the first installment of the battle of Alberta Calgary laid the boots to the visiting Eskimos, drubbing them 56-15 in a game that certainly had its share of emotions with a couple of fights towards the end of the game.
From a Stampeders standpoint I don't think they could have asked for anything...

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how the Toronto Argonauts wanted the game more than the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. On Saturday, with the Edmonton Eskimos in town to take on the Bombers, the team that wanted the game more proved to be the victor again. The Blue Bombers were that hungrier of a team to the tune of a 47 to 21 victory over the Eskimos.
Winnipeg came out of the gate ready to play...

Calgary Stampeders fans get ready to defend home soil! The Green Riders are coming to town. As most fans know McMahon Stadium is a second home to the Saskatchewan Roughriders and their fans. You can be assured that the stands will be about 50/50 with Stamps and Riders fans.
The (3-0) Saskatchewan Roughriders are rolling, and their offense has been lights out so far this season leading the leagu...

The Montreal Alouettes rolled into Commonwealth Stadium to take on the Edmonton Eskimos with both teams having lost their first game of the year. The Esks came out flying in the first half highlighted by Ricky Ray's 43 yard TD pass to WR Fred Stamps. However the Montreal defense did a great job of holding the Eskimos to field goals in the 2nd quarter. and Edmonton went into the locker room with...
